Henry Cesari replied to Brad Bancroft's discussion Internal or External Frame in the group Manly Camping"I own both an external and an internal frame pack. Most anytime I reach into my gear closet I grab my external frame. In fact the only time I prefer an internal pack is when I am travelling abroad in which case it is less of a hassle to load on…"
Native Son replied to Brad Bancroft's discussion Favorite coffee from Starbucks in the group The manly art of coffee"I've had some oddly flavored "Bold" coffees at Starbucks (I must have bought just before the dump it timer beeped.)

Zach Bacik replied to Brad Bancroft's discussion Internal or External Frame in the group Manly Camping"I think the better way would be to get an internal frame pack.

Ryan Miller replied to Brad Bancroft's discussion Internal or External Frame in the group Manly Camping"All of my friends live by their internal frame packs. I'm definitely nostalgic for my big old external framed Kelty. It has a ton of space, and with its many pockets I think it's great to pack. Downsides: It squeaks a lot when I walk on…"
jonathan replied to Brad Bancroft's discussion Internal or External Frame in the group Manly Camping"I have an internal frame pack, the last time I used it was last year when I went to Europe. The only thing I did not like about this pack is that my bag was packed to the brim and weighed a whole lot, by the end of the trip the shoulder straps were…"

Nick Lanier replied to Tyler M.'s discussion "Are Catholics Christians?" in the group Christian Men"Short answer is yes, Catholics are Christians. Anyone who attempts to say "Well, the Bible doesn't say..." or "I believe that the Scripture is the final authority" is being intellectually incongruent. That is not…"
Nick Lanier replied to Elliott Jason Ridgway's discussion Bible Translations in the group Christian Men"Steve,
I have had the opportunity to read the NABRE, and understand the reason the translation was done. Personally, I view it as a step in the right direction, as many of the laity do not study on their own. However, I tend to enjoy…"
